The trams are I believe American and date from the 1930s. Obviously they are open and a bit rickety but all the more fun for that. The journey is interesting and takes about 45 minutes to reach it's destination at Praia das Macas ( Apple...More

Some of the bends and where cars 'forgot' to stop for the red lights or owners left car doors open, made this even more fun on the way down! (very squeaky brakes!). Even more so as we sat at the front where the drivers stand....More

This little tram runs from the town of Sintra to the beach. Most of the trip is along the main road so it's not the most interesting of rides, although you do get some good views of the Pena Palace and the Palace of Monteserrate,...More

Got the tram from Sintra to the beach. The kids loved it and so did we. Very screechy brakes at the beginning so not great for sensitive ears and slightly stressful returning due to the number of people wanting to get on and the limited...More

A city with a tram has a special charm for me and I love every time I get to ride this tram. I love when I can sit carefree and watch outside as it passes through interesting sights. totally worth the ticket

A great ride from Sintra to the beach. Go along an old track through villages. This is the kind of tram that moves people to wave at you as the tram passes. Watch the driver and his assistant ticket taker do all the bells and...More

The tram usually runs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (even in the winter) so as May 1st is a Tuesday I'm afraid it probably isn't running - sorry!
But as it's a public holiday there may be a special service - I have seen the tram running on some odd days - you catch it in the new part of Sintra and it costs 3€, the website isn't very informative and Sintra tourist office a bit useless (cm-sintra.port). There is also an email address on the timetable: dtur.vila.alda@cm-sintra.pt

Yes, we live in Praia das Maçãs (the terminus of the tram), and confirm that it runs year round. During May, service is mostly regular (about every two hours, nearly every day) and during the winter months, it slows down... More

Yes, we live in Praia das Maçãs (the terminus of the tram), and confirm that it runs year round. During May, service is mostly regular (about every two hours, nearly every day) and during the winter months, it slows down considerably, with service limited to weekends in the height of winter. If you need info on a particular day, you can check the website for the Câmara; search on "Sintra Electrico" (this shows the summer schedule; it will update after September 24).

I found on the city municipal of Sintra website an Horário de Verão 2017 do Eléctrico de Sintra (summer schedule of the Sintra tram 2017). It goes to 24 September 2017. Website is something like cm-sintra. pt

We asked while there if the tram runs all year. The driver said yes. I couldn't find a fall/winter schedule for you though. Even if the times are less convenient, the beaches of Sintra are worth seeing. Scotturb buses should be available.
